Science X / Wild parrots quickly learn to eat new foods by copying their friends
Wild parrots learn whether new types of food are safe to eat by observing other members of their social group, allowing dietary knowledge to spread rapidly through the community, according to a study by Julia Penndorf at ...
Medical Xpress / Disease-causing pathogen rewires gut metabolism to secure nutrients for growth, research shows
An intestinal pathogen reshapes the gut environment to fuel its own colonization and cause diseases, a multi-institutional team including researchers at Vanderbilt Health has discovered. The investigators show that enterotoxigenic ...
Tech Xplore / Creating the ultimate driver's test for automated vehicles
Automated vehicles have been steadily rolling out in U.S. cities, but scaled deployment still faces a daunting challenge: proving the technology can safely navigate the complexity of real-world driving. Virginia Tech researchers ...
Phys.org / Pet cats that roam outdoors can carry similar disease risk as feral cats
A new study led by University of British Columbia researchers has found that pet cats allowed to roam outside unsupervised carry infectious diseases at rates comparable to feral cats, even when they receive veterinary care, ...
Phys.org / Researchers create DNA 'nano-rings' to control viral cell proteins
Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new nanoscale tool that can capture and precisely position some of the most important proteins in the human ...
Medical Xpress / Treatment of rare childhood epilepsy could begin before birth
Research has shown early diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy disorders can improve outcomes. The question of when to administer treatment so it gets ahead of the disease, however, has remained stubbornly elusive. A new Northwestern ...
Phys.org / ALMA reveals giant molecular clouds across Needle galaxy's full disk
An international team of astronomers has employed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to perform high-resolution observations of the Needle galaxy. Results of the new observational campaign, presented ...
Medical Xpress / Team targets the spinal cord to solve paralysis' most overlooked problem
Approximately 308,000 people in the United States live with spinal cord injury. Nearly all lose bladder control. And yet the vast majority of research and engineering attention in neurotech has poured into motor restoration—making ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted maternal screening could prevent rare, deadly leukemia in the US
A deadly form of leukemia may be stopped before it ever develops by introducing targeted maternal screening in the United States, according to new research. The national study, led by physician-scientists at Sylvester Comprehensive ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain rapidly switches between internal and external processing
A team led by Professor Ed X. Wu and Dr. Alex T. L. Leong has achieved a major breakthrough in understanding how the brain processes information through large-scale network changes. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, ...
Medical Xpress / Glucose levels appear to guide when brain cells divide or form myelin
Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have uncovered a surprising link between low brain sugar levels and the development of myelin—the protective coating that allows ...
Tech Xplore / Solving the 'Whac-a-mole dilemma': A smarter way to debias AI vision models
In today's hospitals and clinics, a dermatologist may use an artificial intelligence model for classifying skin lesions to assess if the lesion is at risk of developing into a cancer or if it is benign. But if the model is ...
